We have migrated to the Internet. This is a radical change, with both advantages and disadvantages. Our reasons for the change were many and compelling.

For photos (lots of them), please go to the websites indicated above. There are basically two approaches to advancing the state of the loudspeaker art. The other approach is to examine all the established paradigms, identify their strengths and weaknesses, pick the most promising one, and then refine the latter to the point where it becomes, in effect, a new paradigm, and the tweaking of its constituent elements becomes a secondary project.

Trends Audio PA-10 tube pre amp review - Compact valve sound [Italian version] Product: Trends Audio PA-10 tube preamp Manufacturer: TrendsAudio Cost: MSRP Price 225US$ (265US$ for the 'SE' version) (YMMV) Reviewer: Nick Whetstone - TNT UK Reviewed: February, 2009 I recently reviewed the TubePre, a tube-based pre amplifier module from Audiodigit. The PA-10 comes in a standard version and in an 'SE' version. For a tube pre amp, the PA-10 is minute! It's clear, looking at the other audio products in the TrendsAudio catalogue, that the PA-10 has been carefully designed to match their UD-10 USB DAC, and TA-10 class-T amp. So what's inside this little box of tricks? Also in the picture you can see the power switch, and the input selector switch on the rear of the case. Adjusting the bias is quite straight-forward! After adjusting the DC bias on the review sample, I connected it into the same system that I initially used to review the Audiodigit TubePre, ie a Logitech SBS, Monica3 DAC, and Monrio MJ class-D amplifier.

amazon eisa awards Frost* DACs: everything you need to know You may not have realised it, but most of us will make use of at least one digital to analogue converter, more commonly known as a DAC, every single day. Built into the likes of computers, tablets and smartphones, the DAC is the fundamental key to unlocking the convenience of digital music, transforming it back into an analogue signal to make it intelligible to the human ear. Any device that acts as a source of digital sound – be it a CD or Blu-ray player, digital TV box, games console or portable music player – will need a DAC to convert its audio to an analogue signal before it is output. Traditional amplifiers don’t amplify in digital, speakers don’t play in digital and our ears certainly don’t hear in digital – they all need an analogue waveform. MORE: Best DACs 2017
france musique > accueil HiFiMan HM-801 Portable HiFi PMP Review | Audioreview Does the world need another PMP? Isn’t the iPod the end-all-be-all there will ever be for potable HiFi?  Can something be made that will ever displace the iPod position at number one?  Questions need answers and the HiFi enthusiast shouldn’t be limited to our dark dens and hundred thousand dollar music rooms. Companies like Wadia Digital and PeachTree Audio have been developing products that make up for the iPod’s lack of HiFi sound by circumventing the iPod’s DAC and taking the digital files straight out like a transport. So in steps Fang Bien, a young HiFi enthusiast studying Nanotechnology in New York City, where apartments are small and public transit is a constant. What makes the HM-801 a true HiFi portable music play? First off, it has a huge battery that provides enough power to reproduce dynamic, detailed  and balanced sound across the spectrum. Secondly, and most HiFi indeed, the HM-801 uses the Burr-Brown PCM1704 DAC. And it gets even better. And finally, it cost $800.
